It's a shame that this incident ever occured. But at least it has made ppl aware of donating blood.
on campus there are blood drives every month - my chapter volunteers every-other one to give out cookies and juice, set-up, etc.
many of the women are encouraged to give but many don't (from phobias of needles to piercings too recent)
I finally made it to one they were working last week...
I was denied - low iron. I felt horrible, almost cried. silly reason but it had been a couple years since I first gave blood and took a lot of courage to go back...
anyway, I guess that's off topic, but it just goes to show that giving blood is a very personal experience and the decision to donate is definitely up to the individual.
